[orion-dev] JavaScript content assist

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been releasing some small incremental
improvements to our _javascript_ content assist. No fancy type inferencing,
just little things that make life easier for developers.  The main
thing added so far is completion of templates for common control structures
(if/for/do/while/switch/try). For example, "f<ctrl-space>"
will offer "iterate over array" or "for..in traversal".
Select the array template and you get:

for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
                
}

Use tab to traverse between the fields
to be completed, and 'Enter' to complete the proposal and arrive inside
the loop body (exactly like Eclipse desktop). To be honest this was my
biggest motivation - writing for loops by hand after using Eclipse for
so long was very painful. I have already been finding it very useful so
hopefully it helps others out too. This is available in today's build currently
running on orion.eclipse.org. Please give it a try and report bugs and
enhancement suggestions.
